Goleen (Irish: An Góilín)[1] is a small rural village in County Cork on the south-western tip of Ireland.

Goleen is located towards the south-western end of the Mizen Peninsula, in West Cork.

The land surrounding the village is unsuitable for farming, being hilly and rocky with limited soil cover.

The distinction of being Ireland's most southerly point belongs to nearby Brow Head, from where Guglielmo Marconi experimented with transatlantic radio signals at the beginning of the 20th century.

[2] The church was erected in the Neo-Gothic style with a cruciform aisleless ground plan, four bays, and a triplet window in the chancel behind the high altar.
